According to Air Peace communication, the move shows its commitment to gender equality and promotion of Nigerian women in aviation.

In 2017, Air Zimbabwe made a historic trip when a flight crew solely powered by women flew from the capital, Harare to Victoria Falls. Days later, Ethiopian Airlines flew the first-ever all-female crewed flight from Addis Ababa to Thailand.

Here are some congratulatory messages to Air Peace airline on the historic moment.

#NIGERIA | Special praise for the ALL-FEMALE, all-Nigerian aviators and crew members who operated the Air Peace @flyairpeace Boeing 737-300 flights from Lagos-Abuja-Owerri-Lagos on Thurs 5 July. A historic feat, and great inspiration to millions. Congratulations!!! pic.twitter.com/6p4lRgTgNm
